love my Denver and I love the Paramount Theater. I
do whatever time I come through.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, and uh and we we love you here.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
And in a moment, my colleague Gina Gina Gondek is
going to have a question for you, but I want
to start with something that's actually maybe two quick things
that are near and dear to my heart. So I
from time to time find that my my wife starts
talking about something and I'm kind of sort of listening, uh,
but I don't say anything at all, And it reminds

(01:23):
it reminded me very much of your h concept of
your husband Chuck having used up all his words, and
I wonder if you could just talk about that a.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Little bit, honey.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I have I know, Chuck Morgan and I'm married. I mean,
we've barely spoken. I tell every people all the time.
He left this morning, he was blowing laves while I
was didn't say good mob. He blew laves while I
was doing radio interviews, and the dogs were barking, and
then he laughed. I have basically just ty can like

(02:00):
I know, I mean, he is terribly in love with
me and and grabs me in certain places, so I
know he's there and I know he loves me. But
the token, yeah, I've had to find. I've had to find,
you know, a conversation with my girlfriends. You know. Yeah,
I don't let me have your wife's phone number. I don't. Yeah, man,

(02:25):
I don't want to talk do they know.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Tim Daily did Little Tim Dailey when I was shooting
the Telvision series. He's a talker and we just sit
on the couch and talk about what we had eaten. Darling.
But but yeah, Chuck Morgan is still introverted. But I
tell people because because of that series, people think that
Chuck Morgan really walked off and left me, and that
that's a true story. It is not. He is still

(02:50):
up my butt. I want every way or notough.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Leanne has a new Netflix stand up special. It just
premiered week ago, called Unspeakable Things and maybe we'll I'll
get to the title of that in a bit. But
Gina has a Gina has something she wants to talk
to you.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
About, Ellien.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Earlier on the show, we were talking about our ski
resorts and the lack of snow that we've had as
of late. Obviously, you know you're talking to a state
full of skiers and borders, and you had something that
was very relatable when you talked about gearing up and
getting the kids ready for skiting.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Could you tell us a little bit more about.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
That, Oh, lor On, y'all, I've never worked somewhere in
my life when in Chunck Morgan. Weaver Creek, Colorado was
one of the prettiest places I've ever been in my life.
And I was so glad that Chuck Morgan wanted to
ski and raise the show or scan. But that is
one of the hardest wakes of my life. And now

(03:43):
we've got grand babies. So if we get to go,
and we don't get to go every year, but if
we get to go, good lord putting all that own
little children and they're not paying attention and they're no hailed.
And then Ska boats ken, y'all, were Ska baites come
triplate on from Colorado?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
No, not at all. No, that's why I snowboard o.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
The mainest thing that's ever been. And then what did
I talk about? Oh that baby the baby child talking
about her butthole engine. Okay, And she took all her
clothes off on the gondola going up to that little
bunny slope at Beaver Creek, and y'all, she's my makeup
artist and travels with me. And she said to me,
I've been doing that bent and trying to go out

(04:29):
and doing it on saying and she goes, Mom, tell
them I was four or five. He did not say
that she goes. People think I'm twenty seven years old
and my butthole inches and I put my clothes off.
I go, oh my god. I didn't even realize that.
So then I put in there that she was four
or five. She could have killed me. I didn't even
realize that's what I was saying. But anyway, yes, no,

(04:50):
skin is a privilege and wonderful, but a card and
I don't do anymore, y'all. I'm scared I'm gonna tear something.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
So I know.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
I just sat and look at Rid.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
You know it's for me.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
I always find it slightly amusing when I hear folks
with your accent out on the ski hill, because it
just seems a little bit o a place and for me,
like I'm Jewish, right, So to me, it's as weird
as see in like a like a jew out on
an outsailing. It's just like not a thing we know about.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Oh my darling. Well, and I'm from the country, and
I say, I think, I say in that special I'm
from a town of five hundred people and nobody I've
never known anybody that's skied ever. And I would see
it on TV and think that must be the queen
in her pain.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
I think you said there's not even to stop light
in that town of five hundred, right, Uh, there's a caution.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's a caution life. We didn't have a Dollar General though,
and it is popping. Oh, that's what's going on at
that Dollar General because there's nothing else there. Plain. Yeah,
and you can go down there, you know, and get
you out some dand of sausages if you're in a
bass flight. But no, I'm very lucky to have that

(06:03):
beautiful saint y'all are in a beautiful son.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I got about ninety seconds left with you, Leanne, and
I wanted to talk to you about the title of
your Netflix special Unspeakable Things, because I think it relates
to a pattern of behavior that my wife and I
can entirely relate to.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
So can you just elaborate.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Do you go to a hotel room with your wife
and think it is own like gon Kykong?

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Do you get a glazed look over your eyes like
hotel room? Yeah, and it's like your honeymoon, because that's
what Chuck Morgan does to me, Honey, we can't go
to a hotel room that it is like I don't
even know. I don't even I don't want to be
nails down here. I mean, I can't even tell you
what I've had to do in a hotel. And he

(06:50):
said to me, Leanne, when I retire, because he's still
working a big job. He said, when I retire, I'll
just travel with you. And I no, no, you will not.
You are not going to be traveling with Megan.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
No.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
It would be like I can't even like we were twenty,
I cannot do I cannot be doing all that y'all.
Put on a pair of spanks and get ready for
a coffee shops thinks mixed nuts and watching basketball and
grabbing my brains. I cannot do it.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yes, I will just say that Chuck Morgan is fully
representative of every married man in the including me. H.
That is my best opportunity to get back to remembering
what it was like shortly after I got married, is
if I take my wife to a hotel. So, just
so you know, Chuck in in so many ways, including

(07:39):
that way, represents all men.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Leanne.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh well, honey, I'm getting that now. All because people
love Chuck Morgan and want to see Chuck Morgan. And
I tell him. I said, I am building you a
Hollywood courier, Chuck, because people he's becoming a household name.
And I do think that he is very he is
very much a Dan like yelling that who left the
garage door open? And I think that's a common thread

(08:05):
with Man of Wall the United States of America and
want to do it in a hotel.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Room, exactly right, exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Need to do it in a hotel room. I'll do
better now that you tell me.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yes, please on behalf of all men and on behalf
of Chuck Morgan.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I encourage you to do better.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Leanne Liah Morgan's knew Netflix stand up special is called
Unspeakable Things. It's always such a pleasure to talk to you, Leanne,
and congratulations again on the huge success with the Netflix
stuff and the sitcom and the book and everything.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
It's well deserved and you're just awesome.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Thank you, Min Jorling. Thanks Ellen. I can't wait to
be back there. And who knows, maybe we'll go skiing
in March. We're starting to playing it. I will not
be skinning, I will be staring at rich.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Thanks. Thanks LeAnn. All right, we'll take you all right.
